The death of Chief Justice D. K Carttsr of

reason why Judge Cartier held on to office
instead Of resigning on full pay as his
friends advised, was that he was jealous
Republican, and he was not willing
to make vacancy which President
Cleveland would probably fill with

circles is that Judge Merrick will be pro-

that some other good lawyer and Democrat
will he appointed in his place. Judge Mer-
rick was chief justice of the court before
it was reorgauized by an act of Congress

Nitro. tilycerine Works at Plnttsburg,

NJ T., UemoIIsheu by III ENpIOsIoh.
There were two terrific explosions at th,
nitro-glycerine works at Plattsburg, N. Y,
on the l4th inst. The first occurred at 2:l5
o'clock, and the second seven minutes later.
1t is thought that the heat of the sun raised
the temperature of the substance, which was
mixed outside of the factory. The first ex-
plosion scattered the fire in the stove and
caused second explosion of 600 pounds of
nitro-glycerine. Nothing was left of the
large brick building used as factory.
Windows were broken in buildings in Platts-
burg, and the shock was felt in Burlington.
Had the second explosion occurred few
minutes later than it..did, there would have
been terrible loss of life, as hundreds of
persons were on their way to the scene of tbs
